By Simon Goddard<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\nTHE EDITED PRESS RELEASE:<\/strong> \u201cAs 1968 dawns, the one-time King<\/strong> of rock \u2019n\u2019 roll faces cultural oblivion. While elsewhere the \u201960s are swinging, for Elvis Presley<\/strong> they\u2019re sinking \u2014 in terrible films, drug addiction, paranoia, religious mania and the mercenary wiles of his psychopathic manager. In the words of the hip young director assigned to his first TV special, Elvis\u2019s reputation was \u201cin the toilet.\u201d However the same director, Steve Binder<\/strong>, was now about to save it. Together they would embark on the biggest creative fight of Elvis\u2019s life. The Comeback<\/em> plots the incredible true story of Elvis\u2019s fall and rise from Army discharge to iconic black-leather resurrection. Simon Goddard<\/strong> takes the reader inside the life, music and mind of Elvis, isolated from an America unravelling in its own chaos of war, racism, riots and assassinations, until his world and theirs collide in the greatest performance of his life. A genre-busting modernist rock \u2019n\u2019 roll fable unlike any music biography you\u2019ve ever read, The Comeback<\/em> is the definitive account of how it took Elvis eight years on the big screen to lose his crown \u2014 but just one magical hour on a small one to win it back.\u201d<\/p>\n\u00a0<\/p>\n

Buzz Busby: Father Of Washington, DC, Bluegrass<\/strong><\/span><\/em>
By Kip Lornell & Tom Mindte<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\nTHE EDITED PRESS RELEASE:<\/strong> \u201cBuzz Busby<\/strong>\u2019s move to Washington, D.C., in 1951 helped launch bluegrass in the nation\u2019s capital while the intensity of his mandolin playing drew raves for its unrelenting pace and innovative style. His high lonesome singing rivaled that of Bill Monroe<\/strong>. Kip Lornell<\/strong> and Tom Mindte<\/strong> draw on interviews and some 50 hours of Busby speaking about his life to tell the story of a largely forgotten bluegrass virtuoso. Busby and his band The Bayou Boys<\/strong> stood front and center on a mid-1950s D.C.-area TV show that, though short-lived, catalyzed the formation of the city\u2019s bluegrass community. Time with the Louisiana Hayride<\/em> and classic if little-heard bluegrass sides like Lonesome Wind<\/em>\u00a0seemed to promise a bright future. But a devastating car wreck and a host of legal and personal troubles triggered a long decline into drug and alcohol abuse that undermined Busby\u2019s career and led him to sum up, \u201cI started at the top and diligently worked my way to the bottom.\u201d Entertaining and vivid, Buzz Busby<\/em> tells the story of a musician\u2019s musician and his hardscrabble life in bluegrass.\u201d<\/p>\n\u00a0<\/p>\n

33\u2153 | The Three Out\u2019s Move<\/strong><\/span><\/em>
By James Gaunt<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\nTHE EDITED PRESS RELEASE:<\/strong> \u201cThe Three Out<\/strong> were Australia\u2019s most popular modern jazz band in the \u201960s. Their debut album Move<\/em> was recorded just six weeks after the trio formed at Sydney\u2019s famous El Rocco<\/strong> jazz club and sold over 3,000 copies upon its release in 1961. Detailing the careers of each member \u2014 Australian drummer Chris Karan<\/strong>, Dutch bassist Freddy Logan<\/strong>\u00a0and New Zealand pianist Mike Nock<\/strong> \u2014 this book looks at how they came together to push Australian jazz to new heights, and why they split up after two successful albums. Forming in 1960, The Three Out<\/strong> toured Australia, New Zealand, and Europe before going on to greater things. As each member forged new careers, performing with artists such as Dudley Moore<\/strong>, Tubby Hayes<\/strong>\u00a0and Yusef Lateef<\/strong>, The Three Out<\/strong>\u2018s debut album \u2014 and indeed the trio itself \u2014 became a footnote in the careers of its members. They were mostly known to collectors only until a German record label reissued their albums in 2015 and brought them back into the spotlight. Featuring new interviews with Nock, Karan, and those who played with them, this book cements the importance of The Three Out<\/strong>\u2018s Move<\/em> within Australia jazz history, and documents the album\u2019s remastering and rediscovery by contemporary listeners.\u201d<\/p>\n\u00a0<\/p>\n

33\u2153 | The La De Da\u2019s The Happy Prince<\/strong><\/span><\/em>
by John Tebbutt<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\nTHE EDITED PRESS RELEASE:<\/strong> \u201cThis is the untold history of Oceania<\/strong>\u2019s 1960s lost psychedelic album The Happy Prince<\/em>. Recorded in Sydney by the Aotearoa \/ New Zealand band, this was the first LP in Australia that told a single story, creating an audio world. The La De Das<\/strong> were \u2014 and are \u2014 one of New Zealand\u2019s most loved bands. By 1967 they had numerous hit singles and two albums of diverse music. What drove them to experiment with an art-pop form? This book answers that question by digging into archives, dusting off historical memories of those who were there. Released in 1969, this album is a collection of original songs based on an Oscar Wilde<\/strong> story, published in 1888. The tracks include narration by Australia\u2019s pop poet Adrian Rawlins<\/strong>. It was a technical and artistic statement, the likes of which Australian music had not previously heard. At EMI<\/strong>\u2019s studios in Sydney, the production experimented with eight-track recording, using electronically synchronized four-track machines. EMI<\/strong> provided an in-house producer but the album was independently funded. At the time, it was hailed in one music magazine as \u201cthe best thing ever recorded in Australia.\u201d Yet the album disappeared, rarely promoted and never charting. That lineup of the band did not record another album. This book finally tells their story.\u201d<\/p>\n\u00a0<\/p>\n

Find out why those smarty pants at The Believer<\/em> magazine say, \u201cThorburn makes sharp social commentary through a series of dark humor vignettes that revolve around macabre body horror, dalliances into the absurd, and the sociopolitical intricacies of human existence.\u201d<\/p>\n\u00a0<\/p>\n

I Am An Eye I Don\u2019t Know Why<\/strong><\/span><\/em>
By Wayne Coyne<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\nTHE EDITED PRESS RELEASE:<\/strong> \u201cI Am An Eye I Don\u2019t Know Why<\/em> is Flaming Lips<\/strong> founder and frontperson Wayne Coyne<\/strong>\u2019s first children\u2019s book. All 68 pages are original art and story by Coyne. I Am An Eye<\/em> is an unusual and endearing look at a young person finding their identity. Eyes, ears, nose, and mouth are literally separated and must find each other to help their face win a bike race. The two ears, two eyes, nose and mouth realize they are better off together, especially now they have become friends who can help each other see, hear, and steer. In the tradition of Dr. Seuss<\/strong> and the wonderful, wubbulous psychedelic music of Flaming Lips<\/strong>, I Am An Eye I Don\u2019t Know Why<\/em> is an original and very funny look at the togetherness of self.\u201d<\/p>\n <\/p>\n
